Coloring PagesFree coloring pages for kids

You need to invest in your coloring hobby to reap the rewards! I don’t mean you need to go spend your life savings on the most expensive art supplies or furnish part of your house with an art studio, I mean spend the time to allow yourself to become better at coloring. Most things in life take practice and coloring is no exception.

I find that to really enjoy my coloring I need to connect with the page I am working on. When I am looking at starting a new coloring page a few things can influence my decision. Sometimes, I can be thinking about a particular color style or palette that I have seen that I would like to try out on a page, for instance psychedelic coloring. On other occasions when I have had a bad day at work, I’ll want to zone out whilst I color; for these times I often find myself reaching for a mandala. There is something about coloring my way through those circles of pattern that really help my mind to switch off!

As well as finding somewhere you can relax, make sure that you are also looking after your eyes, wrist and back when you are coloring. Being hunched over a coloring book for a couple of hours may produce a beautiful work of art, but if you aren’t careful you could end up straining your eye-sight, back and wrists!
